President Trump blasted the "out of control" dishonesty of the mainstream media during a Thursday press conference, accusing reporters of distorting facts to help special interests. At the start of a nearly two-hour announcement, which was meant to introduce the new pick for Secretary of Labor, Alexander Acosta and promptly turned into a fiery, at times rambling back and forth with members of the press more reminiscent of his campaign speeches, President Trump rejected portrayals of chaos in his administration and claimed "incredible" progress in his first four weeks in office, lashing out at media organizations he said "will not tell you the truth." "I'm not ranting and raving, I'm just telling you you're dishonest people," Trump told the press. ​Trump then slammed reports of his advisers and associates being in contact with Russians during campaign: "it's all fake news." TRUMP: I OWN NOTHING IN RUSSIA, HAVE NO DEALS OR LOANS THERE. In Trump's press conference today he stated that the mainstream press works for special interest and not the people, and that's a very true statement since the mainstream press seems to be pushing an agenda of multiple fake news stories to bring down President Trump. President Trump even went on to state that what Flynn did was nothing wrong about contacting Russia before Trump became President, and stated the release by the press contained classified information...And went on to state all the rhetoric from the press based in fake news is what ultimately led to Flynn's resignation. You have to be very proud of what President Trump did today, because what Trump just likely done in his press conference today was bring down the fourth estate...Also known as the mainstream media. The joy in this press conference today was the utter silence from the mainstream press in the room, which likely means all stories against the Trump administration hold no facts...It's just to obvious in how President Trump left the press speechless.
